Gorgeous PR68 1906 Half

1906 50C PR68 ★ NGC. This mid-date proof Barber half issue has a mintage of only 675 specimens, and few survivors can rival either the impressive preservation or the astonishing aesthetic appeal of this vibrant representative. The strike is spectacular, and the fields remain impressively mirrored through a layer of light patina. Aqua, green-gold, ruby, and orange shadings embrace each side. A tiny planchet flaw close to 3 o'clock on the obverse rim has no effect on the technical grade. Of the two major services, NGC is the only one to have certified an example of this issue in PR68, and out of five coins so graded, this is one of just two to receive the Star designation (6/08).(Registry values: N4719)
